Meet our artists through their playlists.
We were curious what our resident artists move to – what tunes they put on to warm up, which tunes are relevant to their work, which help them wind down.
This playlist is by Lucy Doherty, one of our 2023 RECHARGE Space Grant residents who is at the Drill in August 2023 developing a choreographic work ‘Afterlife’ inspired by three dresses made and passed down from her late grandmother. Lucy’s work investigates the stories these garments hold and explores ideas and skills that are passed down from generation to generation. An area of focus and interest within her choreographic investigation is the practice of sewing, a skills held both by her grandmother and mother.
“I’m interested in exploring how working with fabric and the practice of sewing might inform movement creation and vice versa.”
‘Afterlife’ is an exploration into grief and connection, and this playlist by Lucy Doherty includes songs she has been working with during the research, development, and creation process so far.
